Fly Pest Control

Flies can turn a peaceful home into an exasperating and unsanitary space. Given the chance, they can slip through the smallest opening and quickly multiply. Homeowners do their best to keep these annoying, buzzing invaders at bay, but swarms can be hard to control. JP Pest Services is your neighborhood partner. Our fly exterminator team is fully trained to protect your home from the most common species, including house flies, blow flies, cluster flies, and black flies, that can contaminate your food and make your life miserable.

Arm Yourself Against Flies

Flies show up when you least expect them, and once they’re in your home, they don’t leave without a fight. They make a beeline for leftovers, hover over countertops, and make every meal a battle. That’s why effective fly pest control is a must. With JP Pest Services, there are no surprises. Just clear answers, efficient solutions, and a path to a fly-free space.

Fly Control in New England

Flies might be a nationwide pest, but the challenges in New England homes are a little different. Our mix of warm, humid summers and tightly sealed homes in winter makes for the perfect storm. In the warmer months, flies breed quickly, taking advantage of food scraps, pet waste, and even overwatered plants. Come winter, the indoor warmth keeps them active.

At JP Pest Services, we understand regional patterns. Our fly pest control approach considers the complete picture. Seasonal habits, local fly species, and your home’s layout. Whether you’re dealing with an active infestation or looking to prevent one, our fly exterminators have the experience and local knowledge to provide the help and advice you need.

Where Flies May Be Hiding in Your Home

Flies love anything moist, sticky, or decaying. That means kitchen sinks, garbage disposals, and compost bins are prime hangout spots. Even a forgotten mop in the corner can become fly HQ.

And not just the kitchen; bathrooms, basements, and attics offer quiet spaces for flies to settle in and multiply. Keeping your home clean helps, but even the tidiest house can have a fly problem. That’s why fly extermination is more than just a cleanup task; it requires a comprehensive strategy and expert knowledge to keep flies away.

Dangers of Having Flies in Your Home

Due to their rapid reproduction and resilience to environmental factors, fly swarms can be difficult to control and eradicate. With doors and windows open more often in warm weather, flies take their shot, sneaking into kitchens for leftovers or hovering around outdoor meals, making mealtime anything but relaxing.

As carriers of harmful bacteria and pathogens, they can transmit Salmonella and E. coli. Contamination can lead to diarrhea, vomiting, and other illnesses, with young children and the elderly especially vulnerable.

For commercial foodservice businesses, fly infestations can potentially lead to lost revenue and reputational damage. This makes effective fly pest control essential both for your comfort and to help reduce exposure to health risks.

          Frequently Asked Questions

Why Is It Important To Remove Flies From Your Home, And Where Are They Most Likely To Hide?
Flies can spread harmful bacteria and germs that contaminate surfaces and food, leading to illness. They often hide in damp, dirty areas like sink drains, trash cans, compost bins, and even under appliances. Eliminating flies means tracking down and treating these hidden locations before the infestation grows.
What Fly Control Solutions Does JP Pest Services Offer?
Our fly control services start with a full inspection of your home to identify where flies are coming from and breeding. We use targeted treatments, traps, and sanitation strategies to tackle adult flies and their larvae. Every fly pest control plan is designed around your individual needs to optimize the results.
How Do Flies Get Into My Home in the First Place?
Flies are opportunistic and can slip inside through open doors, windows, or even tiny cracks around your home’s exterior. They’re drawn to smells from food, trash, pet waste, and standing water. Once inside, they look for warm, moist places to lay eggs and multiply quickly. Understanding how flies enter is the first step in stopping them from becoming a recurring problem.

It started out with a mouse problem, then a bat in the attic, then carpenter ants,  then carpenter bees. We have the quarterly service, and I am grateful that you always come so quickly.
